Psalm 109

1] O Goddess whom we praise, you are never silent You are forever speaking in our hearts Yet many listen not to your voice2] For the enmity has opened its mouth against us a mouth of wickedness, a mouth of deceit and lies are forever upon their tongues3] They surround us with their hateful words they attack us, yet we have done them no wrong4] We love them even though they choose to be our enemies and we pray always for their benefit5] Yet in exchange for our good, they do us evil and when we love them, in turn do us they hate6] By your disfavour you will set the wicked against the wicked and usurpation against usurpation they will discover the true nature of their god Pandal7] The fraudulent justice they have visited upon others shall in turn be visited upon them they shall beg for mercy but as they gave not, neither shall they receive8] The days of the usurpers are very few as usurpation is followed by yet further usurpation9] Show compassion unto his fatherless children and his wife now a widow lead them away from the sins of their father10] When his children wander about as beggars may we feed and clothe and love them when in the desolation they ask for bread may invite them to our feasts11] As he has destroyed by usury, so by usury shall he be destroyed and strangers will plunder his heritage entirely12] None being able will protect him but upon his orphaned children, may we bestow our favour13] May we keep his children from the devastation which befalls him as the name of his house is erased14] Maratrea knows well the foolishness in his blood thus she authored, not for its own sake, being a vile thing but for the greatness of the beauties by it purchased15] Those beauties are ever in the sight of Maratrea but even they have an end and as they end, so shall she end that which purchased them16] The enmity knows not the meaning of love it knows only fraudulent, blasphemous, bloodthirsty justice the one true love of the most evil demons that it serves with which it sends the poor and broken-hearted unto death17] The enmity loves to pass sentences of false judgement as it has judged, by the very same judgements it will be judged it hates the blessed ones with all of its power alas for it, that it knows not who they are!18] The curses they speak they wear as a garment the curses pour into their heart the oil of foulness devours their bones19] From this garment they be loosed not until the enmity is obliterated though it appeared to them at first rather pleasant soon the harshness of its hairs does harass the skin20] As to those who speak evil of us and work evil in accords with their speech that very same evil which they visit upon us Maratrea shall visit upon them not a new and different evil, however alike as they do in their fraudulent blasphemies but the very same evil, precisely the same and in no way different21] But as to us, O Goddess Maratrea you favour us with with the favour of your Cause in your will of ends and your will for the end you deliver us from the disasters the enmity has wrought22] For your Cause is as yet poor and needy and many are the wounds in the hearts of your servants23] I am fading as the shadows do at twilight like the smoke going forth from the flames24] My knees and my shins have weakened for want of your blessing or favour25] The enmity in its hate does laugh at us it accuses us of wrongs we have not done and when they look up us with their heads they show their disdain 26] Without doubt will you favour us, O Goddess Maratrea you will deliver your Cause the sweet fruits of your incomparable love27] And the enmity shall come to know of your power, O Maratrea on account of the glories you shall work28] Though they curse, yet you will bless and no curse could ever harm any among the blessed they shall wage war against your Cause yet be shamed by their defeat but gladness will that day be to the hearts of your many servants29] Disgrace shall the enmity have for its garment and the finest of its robe shall be naught other than shame30] I shall praise Maratrea greatly with my mouth in the midst of the multitudes I will praise her31] For she favours her Cause in its neediness to save her servants from blasphemous fraudulent judgement
